He Had TO Give it In.

Patiently she sat and waited for his football.
His football was busy filling engagements at
other points. A tear trckled from her eye and
burst into countless sparkling atoms, as it
fell on the mantle which hung gracefully from
her shoulders. The gaslight flickered dis
mally in the dim hall. She let it flicker, and
needed it not. The policeman's club struck
the curbstone on the next block with hol-
low sound, and she started with terror. What
if-oh, sickening thought But no-George
was always fly enough to take cab after he
had finished going out with the boys.
AT last he came.
"Where have you been so long, George ?"
she asked.
Hescarcely seemed to hear her. For several
minutes he stood motionless, but his face
wore troubled expression. AT length he
spoke these words:
"My-hic-dear, hasch ter give it up
I've got 'er poorest mem'ry ever shaw. Ashk
me shumpin' easy. I'll find out fer you to
hic-morrow from shom o. ozzher-hc--
fellersh. Goodnight"

The True Lady.

A story is told of woman who contrived
during several hours to occupy with her
satchels and shawls two seats in a crowded
car OF train on Western railroad. Old
women and ladies with children in turn stood
looking appealingy at her, unable TO find a
seat. But her stately manner and naughty stare
daunted them. The conductor, without re.
monstrance, found places for them in another
car At last, n huge, slovenly ranch woman
carrying lunch-basket redolent of onions
and garlic, came in.
"There is place for you. Take it" said
the conductor.
She took it, amidst the covert smiles of the
passengers, and occupied it during the rest
of the long journey.
1t is true that such women as these in our
mixed social life frequently assume authority
on the strength OF their rich clothes and
money. They succeed in imposing upon
their passengers, their trades-people
and servants, who are puzzled by them, and
treat them by turns with insolence or sub
serviency But nobody is ever puzzled by the
true gentiewoman. The woman, whatever be
her rank, who meets us with self-respect,
kindness and gentleness, does not wear armor
or proof against insult. She carries rather
the magic witch-hazel, which finds the foun-
tain of good in every heart, and changes
rudeness from the coarsest and most vulgar
into Difference and respect.

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.

BEAUTIFUL HANDS.
My mothers weary hands!s
Their praises let me speak,
They have held loves golden bands
SO long-they are thin and weak.
They are tremulous now and slow;
But, to me, they are just as sweet
As when, so long ago,
They guided my baby feet.
They have old and wrinkled grown;
But, to me, they are Just as fair
As when they clasped my own
And folded them first in prayer.
They have toilej thro' patient years,
While no one praised their deeds,
They have wiped most bitter tears,
And supplied unnumbered needs.
They have heavy burdens borne,
When manhood's strength has failed;
They have soothed the hearts that mourn,
And inspired the hearts that quailed.
The naked they have clad:
The hungry they have fed;
With tender touch and sad.
They have laid away their dead.
Mothers hands are thin and old;
But their every touch I'll love,
Till they clasp the harp of gold
That awaits their touch above.

VARIETIES,

1t was the fellow who stepped on tack
who first remarked "the iron has entered my
SOLE"
1t would never do to have women as
managers of newspapers. You couldn't get
them to give each other credit for anything.
My motto is Live and Let Live" said
the soldier, as he turned his back to the
enemy and fed from the battlefield.
-Lady-"My dear doctor, what is your
candid opinion of the state of my healthF"
Doctor-"I will advise your husband to buy
you new dress that will calm your nerves.
.-Wife-"You talked in your sleep last
night, John and you mentioned mothers
name" Husband-"Thats so? 1t must have
been that mince-pie l ate before going 10
bed"
-"Did you know that Xanthippe, wife of
one of the greatest of ancient philosophers,
was great scold? ?" Certainly; but Just
think what great tease her husband was"
"a great tease ?? Yes; Socrates"
When woman gets on a street-car and
spreads out her skirts so that she occupies
two seats you can make up your mind that
her husband always sits on the edge of his
chair and says ayes, m'm," "No, nm" TO
her.

"Thats so, Bill. But where do you propose
TO get the brains ?'
-Talmage said in his lecture the other
night that 1.-THE man who can sing and won't
sing should be sent TO Sing.Sing." That
would be too severe. 1t is the man who
can't sing and will sing who should be sent
to Sing Sing. p. S.-For ninety-nine years.

In the TRADITIONS of Edinburg" VIC are
told that after he had finished his pleasure
grounds, Mr.. Rose was much enraged by
nightly trespassers, and advertised SPRING
guns and man-traps without avail At last
he conceived the idea of procuring a human
leg from the Royal Infirmary; and, dressing
it up with stocking, shoe, and buckle, sent
it through the town, borne aloft by the crier,
proclaiming that 'it had been found last
night in Mr.. Walter Ross policy at Stock
bridge, and offering to restore it TO the dis
consulate owner" After this, no one at
tempted to break into his grounds.

Too Much Sweeping.

The ACCESSIBILITY of giving every apartment
vigorous "broom cleaning" at least once a
week has been SO strenuously insisted upon
by some notable housekeepers that it has by
many been converted into an imperative
duty. But looking at the matter in an I'M
predjudiced light, one cannot clearly see why
a drawing-room inhabited perhaps only a
few hours of the afternoon or evening, or an
unoccupied guest chamber, should require
the same amount of publication demanded
by sewing, sitting or dining room. The
dust-pan and brush are labor.saving machines
that do not receive due appreciation. By their
aid in removing little dust here and there,
the business of sweeping whole room may
be deferred at times, when at the first glance
anything less than complete routing out of
furniture and dirt would seem impossible.

A Greedy Old Girl.

During Queen Victoria's reign-may her
shadow never grow less it can't grow very
much greater-there has been added to her
realm 1850 900 square miles of territory, and
the population she controls in her colonies
has been about trebled. This is why our big
hearted mother country shudders with hor-
ror every time she sees any other nation cast
ing greedy eyes upon an island in the Arctic
Ocean, forty miles square. If Victoria-God
time own so much of this earth that the
British possessions would stick out beyond
the edges half way to the moon, and all the
II factories in the universe would be run
ming on double time.

ART OF MEMoRY.-The best way to re-
member thing is to thoroughly understand
it, and often to recall it to mind. By read
ing continually with great attention and
never passing passage without understand
ing and considering it well, the memory will
be stored with knowledge; and things will
occur at times when we want them, though
we can never recollect the passages, or from
whence we draw our ideas.

Wonderful Birds.

There is something truly wonderful about
the feats of carrier pigeons. Carried in a
dark express car several hundred miles over
half dozen different railroads, with no pos
sible opportunity of knowing anything of
the country through which they pass, or the
direction in which they are going they are
released from their prison, and straightway,
without any hesitation, begin their Decline
journey home. What mysterious power d.
reefs their flight? Many theories have been
advanced Signal Service Observer David,
who released those recently sent from Phlla-
delphia, seems to think the most plausible
theory is that the birds are controlled by
magnetic currents, very much as magnetic
needle is controlled. A sort of an indefna-
bic something points out to them the way in
which they should go. That may be the true
theory and it may not. At any rate, these
beautiful birds furnish abundant food for re-
Election to all who care to consider their
truly wonderful work

SAD DrownIss Accident.

Last Saturday forenoon nine-year-old
Arsen Roberts, son Of Mr.. A. A. Roberts,
and Jasper wyman, another boy OF about
the same age, were fishing back of the old
Foster warehouse, on the Willamette, a
dangerous place far boys, when the former
slipped into the river. The water being
high and swift and turbulent at that place
Arsen was swept out of sight, though he
made desperate grab for the bank, and his
little finger imprints were afterwards seen
there. Young Wyman rushed for helP,and
the ferryman, who was across the river at
the time, saw the accident and jumped in
his boat, but assistance came too late. Not
even the body could be found. In all pro-
liability II was taken miles down stream.
Mr.. Roberts Immediately offered reward
Of S3s for the recovery Of the body. The
afflicted parents received the universal sym.
pathy of the community in their peculiarly
uAd affiiction.
